| Isolation Host | Arthrobacter globiformis B-2979 |
| Found By | Ethan Edwards |
| Year Found | 2019 |
| Location Found | Manchester, NH United States |
| Finding Institution | University of New Hampshire at Manchester |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 18°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 42.994046 N, 71.512123 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Location Descriptors:
- Backyard of a suburban household
- Area sampled from is was previously a plant grow bed and before that there was a sand pit above
Soil Descriptors:
- Approximately 60% sandy soil and 40% coarse soil
- Slightly moist, as it was in the morning and dew was fresh on the ground
- Flakey |
| Naming Notes | Due to difficulties getting the phage to represent itself on the bacterial lawn (personal error), and the practice of using phage to treat bacterial infections in both animals and humans.
I thought it appropriate to name the phage SilentRX. As it could be administered as "the Silent treatment." |
